Have you ever experienced praying to the Lord and then having to spend a long time waiting for His reply? Worse, it’s as if He never listens and everything just seems to ‘hang?’ If you say yes, this article is for you. I once experienced my laptop freezing in the middle of writing some articles. Boy, I tell you that if your computer gets stuck when you’re in the middle of your job you’ll be very frustrated. You get irritated and impatient, even probably tempted to manually restart your computer by pressing the reset or power button. It was during…

Having children makes a mother feel so vulnerable. Of course you love your child, and while we can’t control everything, we can surely pray for everything. Here are my best prayers for moms. Lately I’ve been thinking about what my kids will face as they grow up and I’m determined, among the “urgency” of daily life, to pray for specific things in their future. Not just who they’ll marry or what they’ll be when they grow up (although these are great prayers) but for other less obvious things. Here are the things I think all moms should pray for their children.…

Praying for unsaved loved ones is one of the most important things we can do as Christians. The Christian walk, if done correctly, is a mighty struggle. It shouldn’t be easy and free of tension and inner conflict. To be in this world and in His word and Will can and should be a challenge. We have to be constantly working on making ourselves righteous and Holy and acceptable to our God. To show our love for Him, we must be obedient to Christ (John:14:23).  As Christians, we are called to be the salt of the earth (Matthew 5:13).. We…

I love the fact that Valentines Day will always be a special day in my life regardless of my relationship status. Six years ago, I remember sitting in a church service thinking to myself ‘But why God? Another Valentines Day and l’m still single! Seriously though God, what happened to you giving me the desires of my heart because l don’t understand where my saved younger version of Richard Gere with a slight hint of Sheldon Cooper is right now’. I was feeling very sad and broken, I might have been in tears, okay l was crying but then the most amazing thing happened to me! There l…

For some, the Holidays bring an influx of emotions. Emotions that have neatly stayed tucked away somewhere in our spirits and come protruding out of us at the first mention of “Jingle Bells” or the first sight of a nicely decorated Thanksgiving table. If you are anything like me, the Holidays brings you a sense of mourning. Mourning a loved one who once was the figure who brought the family together for the holiday, and since has passed on. My late mother was that person in our family. She often had the Christmas Tree up and decorated well before Thanksgiving…

I have a friend whose brother and sister-in-law have been unable to conceive a baby. The family is not Christian, so when I was praying to God to allow them to give birth to a healthy baby I prayed that He would use this to make Himself real to them. I prayed that through this the couple, their family, their friends and eventually their healthy child would see that God was at work in their lives. As I was praying the word “tomorrow” came to my head. At first I was confused as to where that word even came from.…
